Attic temperatures in La Mirada drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Sealant is the first casualty in La Mirada; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Where La Mirada buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Additions and conversions are common in La Mirada, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Second-storey additions in La Mirada create a junction between old and new roof covering that requires proper flashing rather than sealant.
